PAUL STANLEY’s Memoir ‘Face The Music: A Life Exposed’: Book Cover Unveiled
KISS frontman Paul Stanley‘s memoir, “Face The Music: A Life Exposed”, will be released on April 8 via HarperOne The 432-page hardcover will feature rare photographs of the legendary rocker and detail his hard-partying lifestyle as one of the co-founders of the heavy rock band who has sold over eighty million albums and performed more than two thousand shows around the world.
The cover for “Face The Music: A Life Exposed” can now be seen below.
Stanley explained to The Pulse Of Radio that if his book was going to follow the pattern of some of the other books he’s read, he would’ve passed on writing it all together. “I think I took a tact different than a lot of these books,” he said. “Y’know, rock n’ roll autobiographies tend to be a love letter — to the author. And they tend to be about how smart and creative and how this person was responsible for the creation of the world. And if that were the tact for the book, I never would’ve written the book.”
In “Face The Music”, Stanley talks frankly about his early struggles with hearing — he was born with Level 3 Microtia and is deaf in his right ear. Microtia is a congenital deformity of the cartilage of the outer ear that can affect normal hearing.
Stanley, who grew up half-deaf and scarred with a deformed right ear, explained to The Pulse Of Radio that by touching upon the more difficult episodes in his life, he’s not seeking sympathy from the reader, but simply highlighting the path into who he became. “Y’know, my book is about my life starting from the very beginning and certainly a certain amount of adversity and having a birth defect and being deaf on one side and the family that I came from,” he said. “Certainly people have had more adversity in their lives — and some less — but I, I would think some people would get a certain amount of inspiration and a sense that positivity and belief in yourself will ultimately lead you to a great place.”
